Covered this league long enough to know Greer is usually right.

Fuss took Nico off a roster that was already done.
Smith and Addison were not beating JSN for a job. The seconds are three years away.

Trade
Morgan spent two firsts while he is still in it.
Jeanty is the back. The cost is a 2027 first of his own, and Greer’s.
June Okafor · 3 min
Pays more attention to Morgan’s claims than anyone should.

Trade
Nathan took the two healthy ones.

Trade
Mitchell paid for a back, and he took the questions with him.

Rest of the year
